Instead, moving the blades with the screwdriver moves them in a full circle, but once you let go of them, they slide to a stop at a preset position. Blowing does not move the fan at all. I noticed the blades are rather dusty. Should I use a vacuum on it like a previous poster mentioned?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-2362429927485639472012-09-17T12:19:53.413-04:002012-09-17T12:19:53.413-04:00tooth pick worked for metooth pick worked for meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-47163952450821880252012-09-05T11:29:20.845-04:002012-09-05T11:29:20.845-04:00So glad I found your advice...
